How to Grow the Psychedelic Rex Begonia

  Rex begonia   One of the most stunningly colorful plants I have yet to encounter is the Rex begonia. Although it does not like too much direct sun, when sunlight hits the leaves,it, its iridescent colors are dazzling.  To those of us not used to living around such vivid plants, this species of begonia may appear to be something out of a science fiction novel.  This one lives in my living room and its wondrous colors brightens up the room; its colors are a delightful complement to the other colors in that room. It even blooms from time to time with a ..read more

The Sweet Wire Vine
The Indoor Garden

3y ago
Muehlenbeckia complexa I was invited by my neighbor to come over and look at her plants to see if I could offer any suggestions. She recently bought several at a local plant store. This small and sweet slice of life was sitting on her kitchen counter.  It's called a Wire vine or Maidenhair vine. With tiny soft green leaves on creeping, twining reddish-brown stems, this smallish plant can add a touch of freshness wherever it is placed. It can be pruned as needed to keep it compact. It should divide quite easily if it's root-bound and you still want a small plant. This is one of ..read more

The Fascinating ZZ plant
The Indoor Garden

My newest neighbor was graciously showing me around her house when I saw this. She had  recently purchased this healthy specimen of the curious ZZ plant. She has it in a perfect spot. It's in bright indirect light and with minimal attention, it should be living with her for years.  Although the soil should dry out quite a bit between waterings, it should not be neglected. ZZ's are tolerant of sitting pretty dry for awhile but watering it as soon as it's ready is best.  This is a fairly new specimen on the houseplant market and has turned out to be very popular. I've seen this ..read more

Aglaonema Schismatoglottis roebellini

Aglaonema Schismatoglottis roebellini This particular Chinese Evergreen has a name that we always enjoyed pronouncing for curious plant buyers at the first plant store I worked at in the 1970's. We pronounced it as Shish-mu-glottis. That is the horticultural name of this plant. Its botanical name is Aglaonema crispum.  Most plants are sold under their botanical name. I do not why official names in botany and horticulture sometimes vary. Scientists often disagree on things. Common names sometimes vary from area to area and it is up to the discretion of the grower which common na ..read more

The Succulent Lamb's Tail

4y ago
Sedum x orpetti   This is my friend, Suzy's Lamb's tail. I just had to snap a picture of this great specimen! Her care for it is impeccable and it has thrived for quite a while in a very bright spot in her home. It's a hybrid of the more common Mexican native, the Burro's tail. Both are fairly easy to grow with consistent attention.   The Lamb's tail is distinguished from the Burro's tail by its fatter leaves that are spaced a little farther apart along their tasseled branches. This can also be grown beautifully as a hanging basket. Care Instructions--  Direct sun indoors. T ..read more

Growing a Wax Begonia Indoors during Wintertime
The Indoor Garden
by
4y ago
How wonderful it is to have a plant blooming indoors during winter! This one was in a small pot and lived outside from spring to summer. I re-potted it into a 6" diameter pot and it has grown and continued to bloom ever since I brought it inside. It has been quite content sitting in this south-facing kitchen window since early fall.   The wax begonia is probably the easiest begonia to keep alive indoors. And they can bloom almost constantly. There are many plants that will bloom indoors during the winter and they really do help keep a place cheerier, which is always a good thing!   If yo ..read more

The Peruvian Old Man Cactus

This is the Peruvian Old Man cactus, Espositoa lanata, not to be confused with The Old Man cactus, Cephalocereus senilis. The old man cactus has stiffer "hairs" that stick out and give it a more unkempt appearance in contrast to the soft whispiness that surrounds the Peruvian Old Man cactus. I spotted this sitting on the windowsill while visiting my friend and plant-appreciator, Suzy. at her house the other day. It is growing well in its own naturally amusing way. She's had for a long time in great light and allows it to dry out thoroughly before watering it.That's the recipe for successf ..read more
